Layne's Chicken Fingers teases ‘big impact' for Dayton area
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Another fried chicken chain is planning its arrival to the Dayton area.
According to 1851 Franchise, Marvin Monroy and Mauricio Blanco are business partners, and are reportedly looking to open four Layne's Chicken Fingers locations in the region.
After making its southwest Ohio debut, the prospective team expects to expand to the Columbus area and beyond for the Buckeye state.
Colliers, a commercial real estate service, advertised on social media in late April that it was looking for possible sites for the chain in the Miami Valley.
'We're actively seeking sites for purchase—pad sites, freestanding drive-thrus, & existing buildings between 1,500–3,000 SF,' said Colliers.
Graeter's unveils wave of summer flavors
Layne's has several items on the menu, including:
Chicken, club and grilled cheese sandwiches
Three, four and five-count chicken tender meals
fries, Texas toast, sauce and a drink
Grilled chicken wraps
Shakes
Kids meals
Customers have the option to order chicken either original or spicy.
Nexstar's WJW in Cleveland reported last month the chain is opening the first Ohio location in Parma.
WDTN.com is working to learn details on where its Dayton-area locations will be plotted.
In recent years, chains like Big Chicken, Culver's, Huey Magoo's, Popeye's and Raising Cane's have opened in the area. WDTN.com reported in January Zaxby's is planning its first area location in Liberty Township.

Chipotle introduces new dip as ‘bold new flavor'
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — For the first time in five years, Chipotle is adding a brand new sauce to its menu. Starting June 17, Chipotle locations across the U.S. and Canada will offer Adobo Ranch. According to the chain, the new sauce is described as being a smoky and spicy twist on ranch. The new sauce is made of adobo pepper, sour cream and various herbs and spices. According to Chris Brandt, president and chief brand officer at Chipotle, Gen Z has contributed to making ranch 'a cultural phenomenon.' 'Our new Adobo Ranch taps into this passion, giving fans a craveworthy way to customize their Chipotle order with a completely new flavor,' said Brandt. On the first offering day, Chipotle Rewards members can receive a free offer for the new sauce with a minimum purchase of $5 on their account. Accounts must be made by 11 p.m. local time on June 16.

Opinion - What's the matter with Ohio? Trump tariffs are a loser even in Red states.
Donald Trump largely got a second chance at the presidency due to a deep dissatisfaction with the economy. It turns out his tariff policy has not eased fears and in fact may be fueling deeper anxieties among voters. It is one of the few issues where a significant number of Republican voters are willing to break with the president. Notably, independent voters are also spooked by tariff uncertainty. While public opinion polling in the aggregate has illustrated these trends, few polls have probed how Red State voters are reacting to Trump's tariff policies. Once a prized bellwether state, Ohio has now voted solidly Republican in the last three elections, including a double-digit margin of victory for Trump in 2024. Yet, our poll of Buckeye voters finds Trump is currently underwater and the tariffs are a major reason why. A majority of Ohio voters (51 percent) believe the Trump tariff policies will personally hurt them and just 1 in 4 think his tariff policies will benefit them. About half think the tariffs will hurt the United States (49 percent), while 38 percent think the country will benefit from them. This is somewhat vexing as Trump had long indicated he would engage in an aggressive tariff policy in his second term. Perhaps the uneven rollout and increased media attention to the potential effects of tariffs on the American consumer could be driving the discontent. Although Trump enjoys almost universal support among Republicans in our poll on most issues, there is some melt when it comes to the tariffs. Just 47 percent of Republicans think the tariffs will personally help them, and less than 1 in 5 think the tariffs will personally hurt them. Independents also provide some caution, as a majority (53 percent) think they will personally be hurt by Trump's tariff policies. The poll finds some rare bipartisan agreement in who respondents think will benefit most from the tariff policies. Respondents overwhelmingly think the tariffs will benefit the wealthy (66 percent) and large corporations (60 percent). Majorities of both Democrats (75 percent) and Republicans (56 percent) believe the wealthy will benefit from the tariff policies. Seventy-two percent of independents also believe the wealthy will benefit. When it comes to large corporations, however, it is Republicans who are most likely to agree that these entities would likely benefit from the Trump tariff policies, with 67 percent in agreement, compared to 55 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of Independents. Large majorities of all respondents believe that small businesses (59 percent), the middle class (58 percent), the working class (58 percent), labor unions (58 percent) and the United States automobile industry (54 percent) do not stand to benefit from the tariffs. Although Trump has claimed that his tariff policies would benefit these groups, thus far, most people appear to be skeptical. This is a message Democrats will likely amplify leading up to next year's midterm elections. As might be expected, the largest amount of agreement among all respondents is that foreign governments would not benefit from the tariffs (75 percent). Overall, we find Trump's approval in Ohio is underwater with 47 percent approving and 48 percent disapproving of his job in office. Keep in mind that this poll is of voters who indicated they supported Trump by a 10-point margin, largely reflecting the actual outcome of the 2024 election in the state. Moreover, this is a 7-point slide in favorability from when we polled Ohio voters in February of this year. Nationally, Trump's approval is at minus 4, with 46 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval. The frenzied pace of the first few months of the second Trump presidency has created some unease among many voters as well. Not surprisingly, nearly 9 in 10 Democrats feel more anxious (86 percent). More broadly, majorities of non-whites (59 percent), those 18-44 (53 percent) and women (50 percent), personally feel more anxious with Trump as president. While 24 percent of independents are less anxious with Trump as president, 43 percent are more anxious with him as president. Notably, Trump has changed course on the implementation of his tariffs on several occasions already, likely fueling more uncertainty among voters. Citizens across the country and in red states in particular have conveyed a strong distrust in government and an impulse for change. The advantages Republicans have in the House and Senate may be in jeopardy, given that the president's party has an average midterm loss of 28 seats in the House and 4 seats in the Senate from 1934-2018. In 2022, Republicans gained just 8 seats in the House and lost one seat in the Senate. If public opinion continues in this direction, especially in red states, some Republicans will be faced with difficult choices on how closely they align themselves with Trump and his tariff agenda.
